Decent enough, though the tales lacked impact and one in particular could have even been removed.

Asylum felt a lot better than the later From Beyond the Grave (another horror anthology with Peter Cushing in it).

The final segment, whilst interesting, was let down by a lack of good practical effects. If it had some of the movie magic of the '80s that part could have packed a punch, but instead came across as laughable.
